The French were ok I guess but not comparable to the Angels, T-Birds and the Snowbirds
Down at Sun N Fun the Blue Angels put on a hell of a show .
Apparently there is no restriction to flying over the crowds and exhibits at Sun N Fun
For an hour one morning , the Angels did nothing but 100-200 ft high speed passes scaring the crap out people.
It reminded me of the Canadian Shows in the 1970s when the CAF use to do that sort of thing with the Voodoos.
Was great fun

...isn't he the best pilot you've ever seen?....Yeah he is ....except when I'm shaving.........

I was thinking of making an appearance for the Gatineau show (haven't been to one since 2012), but now not so much. With a relatively short list of performing aircraft, most of which I've seen fly many times, the french team were the only draw. They've been hyped up so much I was expecting something quite spectacular. I'm sure it will be great for those that don't go to these things often.

I was told there would be cookies.... Where the hell are the cookies!!!

I never had the desire to attend the VWC shows for the same reason . Very small line up and most of their collection does not fly anymore.
Unfortunately , VWC has never really found their nicthe in the Vintage Aircraft world . They have done some great things here but have never really been a consistent player .
Now more than ever it is just one individuals private collection that he occasionally shares with the public.
They have had some dramatic ups and downs and learned a lot of lessons the hard way choosing not to take experienced advice .
Of course , pissing off multiple Vintage / Warbird groups in the US doesn't help either . Too bad there was great potential there
